- Stories. I'm a talker; we know this, let's move on.
- Clothes. My sister-in-law is the clothes swapping QUEEN and since we met at age 13, she has taught me oh-so-well.
- Recipes. My friend, Katherine is to blame for not only my complete lack of calorie counting, but for my fattening-by-the-minute recipe box! Love!
- Spit. Oh come on, the hubs is hot!
And making its grand debut to the list....MUGS! We met on a fine summer afternoon in August. My friend Katherine sent out an "I'm signed up for the mug swap...you should, too!" email. So I click on the link and check it out.
Is anyone else with me when I say I was taken back to the junior high days when chain letters & pen pal programs were all the rage? Immediately I'm ALL over the mug swap and want to be a part of it. I email Kim, she emails back and the rest is pretty much history.
I had SO much fun picking out my mug and filling it with Florida-appropriate treats for my awesome New Yorker recipient @amanda_r0se! Even cooler is the fact that now we're Instagram buddies and all from a little ol' swap!
A few days later, I received MY mug in the mail! Yaaaay *happy dance*. It was from the awesome Ashleigh and get this guys, she HAND PAINTED my mug! She has her own Etsy store, which I'm totally going to plug here and I love that she incorporated her art into my mug. And for the bonus point, she included a delicious Lara bar! Here is a pic of my goodies:
Needless to say, in the words of my bud Katherine, "I'm signed up for the mug swap (2013)...you should, too!"
